The dataset includes concentrations, stable carbon isotope signatures (δ¹³C) and radiocarbon signatures of elemental carbon (EC — thermal-optical tracer of black carbon) for samples collected in Delhi, 2011. The carbon isotope data may be used to quantify the relative proportions of the three main emissions sources of black carbon in this region: biomass burning, traffic and coal combustion.
